Hi,

I have up until yesterday used Netscape Messenger 4.79 on a Windows 95 
machine to read news (sorry).

It looks to me that Netscape 7 does not allow for reading of news, nor 
does OS X's Mail (which immediately has become my preferred mail tool), 
and nor does Safari (which immediately has become my preferred browser).

So what do people use to read news under OS X?  How popular is 
MT-NewsWatcher 3.2?

Also, how do you include those nifty little dot-matrix pics to the left 
of the headers that I can now see?  (e.g. Tony Hall, Matt Neuburg, Mike 
Rosenberg and especially PeterD)

Cheers,
Vaughan
